LCV Action Fund Endorses Jane Dittmar for Congress

League of Conservation Voters Endorses Jane Dittmar

Jane Dittmar for Congress“Virginia is already experiencing the impacts of climate change and needs leaders who will always stand up for the environment. Jane Dittmar understands both the threat of climate change and the economic opportunity there is in making Virginia a leader in clean energy,” said LCV Action Fund President Gene Karpinski. “In Congress, she will continue to build on her strong record of environmental leadership and putting Virginia families first.”

“As a small businesswoman and local elected official, Jane Dittmar understands that we can have both a healthy environment and a strong economy,” said Virginia League of Conservation Voters Executive Director Michael Town. “She is a tireless advocate devoted to protecting Virginians’ air, land and water, and grow our economy by investing in infrastructure and good-paying clean energy jobs.”

“It is an honor to be endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund,” Dittmar said. “The LCV and I both know that protecting our environment isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s how we secure our planet for our children’s future and generations to come. The time for questioning the existence of climate change has long passed; it is our responsibility to take action now to mitigate the damage that has been done. I look forward to working for environmental protection and clean energy investment when I am in Congress.”

Is Richmond Working For You? Is Washington?

“Tom Garrett took Dominion Power’s money then protected their bottom line, putting our communities and our water at risk.” “To protect both our planet and our national security, we must move as expeditiously as possible to become a country that increasingly relies on clean, renewable energy–solar, wind, and wave. We must evaluate the subsidies and incentives in each of our energy sectors to make sure they are helpful to our long term energy goals.”

The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the earth upon which we build our homes must be preserved and protected for the health and safety of our children and generations to come.” -Jane Dittmar

Dominion is an important power partner to the Commonwealth. That said, Jane refuses to take campaign contributions from Dominion to avoid the appearance of impropriety. “Recently, I toured a new 1.2 billion dollar investment in Mecklenburg by Dominion in the 5th District that will help our Southside economy. I also applaud their efforts at solar energy generation and biomass production and I believe they can and should do more in these areas.”

House Republicans Are Trying to Blackball the Climate Investigation into Exxon

ONCE UPON A time, climate science and politics were separate things. Then came several decades of scientific denial, distortion, and gaslighting. One of the companies responsible for politicizing climate change is ExxonMobil, which for years funded climate change denial groups despite its own research confirming that greenhouse gases cause global warming. Now, the battle to hold them accountable has become a proxy war between a lead denier in the US House of Representatives and groups that are working to make Exxon legally responsible for its actions.

The House Science Committee is dragging out the spurious narrative that science isn’t in consensus about climate change, its causes, and effects. The post House Republicans Are Trying to Blackball the Climate Investigation into Exxon appeared first on WIRED.
